engineering recuitment TSPSC AEE Civil Mock Test 2022 Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Shear Strength
Based on drained triaxial shear tests on sands and clays, the representative variations of volumetric strain (ΔV/V) with the shear strain (γ) is shown in the figure.
Choose the CORRECT option regarding the representative behaviour exhibited by Curve P and Curve Q.
1
Curve P represents loose sand and normally consolidated clay, while urve Q represents dense sand and overconsolidated clay
2
Curve P represents dense sand and overconsolidated clay, while Curve Q represents loose sand and normally consolidated clay
3
Curve P represents dense sand and normally consolidated clay, while Curve Q represents loose sand and overconsolidated clay
4
Curve P represents loos sand and oveconsolidated clay, while Curve Q represents dense sand and normally consolidated clay
